I am pleased to report I got a wild hair up my ____ and called the local police dept to lajimi's home.I lucked out getting a guy who knows lajimi and told me he is just fine. the town is still w/o power, so he may not be here this weekend. but we do know he's ok.

Is anyone sick and tired of seeing this pic every Thursday night? If so, I'll stop.

As far as Sandy goes, here on the midcoast of Maine? Frankly, meh. Got an inch or 2 of rain and it was (according to Mrs. Buck; I slept thru it) rather windy overnight Monday/early Tuesday morning. All in all, underwhelming, for which I am grateful. Goes w/o saying that I hope others in the direct path were spared as much hardship and tragedy as possible.

Pleased to hear lajimi's safe, hope other Right Coasters who may lack Ze Elektrik are OK as well.New Breed, yah right. Knew I'd heard of Selkirk Rex before, even seen a couple. Not all that new, except Relatively Historically.Credit that's due goes to DesertZephyr, whose profile says she's still in central TX.Have finnished the local club rag, now best start on the one for the YLs (that's Young Ladies of the human type to those of you who don't have FCC Amateur Radio Licences, means Women; all of us!). Matticus, tnx for pix of Steve McQueen, both actual & painting. Savannahs're fairly large, if memory still worx, methuinx...

We had power the whole time, but we were lucky. Many are still without power, but at least we are going back to school. Need to feed the bank acct! :) most of our damage was caused by toppled trees. Many very old..200 yr old, lost their grips on the saturated soil. And then there were the 20 ft high waves....

Ok, if all of our right coast Caturdayers could please check in and let us know how you are doing it would be very much appreciated!

Well, there's a tree leaning on my house....

It fell slowly, so slowly that we didn't even hear it, but the cats did. No real damage, the gutters are dented in 2 spots. The tree company was out here Tuesday, they've got a couple of higher priority jobs (like people with trees through their houses). The tree isn't going anywhere, they'll be here tomorrow or Saturday. I'm hoping Saturday, that way I can get some pictures.

/If you look closely at the sliding door you'll see a lump on the rug.//Yup, a cat///Probably Jack

It has been raining all week but during the storm the winds never got over 40mph so I just had a few tree limbs come down and a few shingles off the roof. Nothing major. Not even any power failures. Just another rainy day here. Good to hear most everybody came out all right so far.

Hi guys!! Finally got home, and settled in for Caturday!! YAY! I got Lily on my lap, and a beer at hand....Life is good! Glad to hear that our friends to the East are mostly doing okay!! I heard from Sherpa18 a couple of days ago, and he said that he's okay, but most of the area around him sucks!PLUS!! He's getting dangerously low on RUM!!!!! OHNO!!! We need to organize an air-lift!!!!! :D

Tnx cretinbob for the pix, also relay of word from domari that sherpa's OK, & whoever it was was saw p_v on FB (where I still decline to go).Snuffybud, hope that tree can be shifted before it does any more damage. When it was still warmish here, Plumbicon was up on the roof with the chainsaw, lopping branches off the closest Bradford pear as that breed of tree's a bit wimpy & breaks easily. Also shoveling leaves out of gutters.Think this is the one of Furry/Furrnandina/TheQueenMum I intend to put in my profile, small enough so all those resident may go in. That won't be til the Editing's done, quite likely not before next Tue. Haven't decided yet whether we should go to the local radio club mbrs' mtg; probably just to drop off the newsltrs again & head on to Novice Quartet reh at the place Plumbicon's & the Big Chorus rehearse, that he was conscripted to be El Pres of within minutes of his retirement from the TV station almost 9 yrs ago now (early bcs he could!). That's what was done last month. The Novice QT contest will be Mon Nov 19; we're getting to the point where we sound halfway decent. Not like cat wars at all any more!!!

Snuffycat showing me how concerned he is that a tree is resting on the house. He's going to be pissed next spring, that tree was part of Squirrel Route 1. They'd jump from our roof to a branch right outside our kitchen window, then go from there to the neighbor's fence

The Florida Caturday contingent hopes all who were in Sandy's way are ok. Glad for the update on lajimi and sherpa. Hurricanes are humbling experiences that's for sure. Once you've gone thru one, you don't forget.

Okay kids...I gotta go for the evening. Time for me to eat something, and chill.See you all tomorrow! (and I have the day off, 'cuz it's the anniversary of my birthing day), so you all have a great evening, and I'll catch up in the morning!!HUGS to all who are still trying to recover from Sandy.....

Nothing dreadful at all in Pittsburgh even though people all around us were trashed. We got about 3" of rain from Sandy and didn't have any problems at all.My power didn't even flicker and all the porch furniture is right where I left it.
